Open Letter To Washington Post and Ms. Amy Shipley

LCSULLA said:
A fair shake? :rofl: This reporter is trying to get herself a Pulitzer prize. She trying to make it to the higher echolons of journalism. So her and her edittor are going to skew the truth, just for the big story.
Bingo. And after hearing Guns, Germs and Steel won a Pulitzer, I've got no respect for the award and realize that neither do those who award it.

Maybe I'm missing something here but doesn't removing all the threads kinda make it look like somebody might be trying to hide something.
And I had just started looking at these products and reading in this forum. :sad:
The point of removing the threads was so that she can see the thread for her.

If they were trying to hide things, bobo would have to take the whole site down, :lol:

Plus, what's to hide? She can just go to his website.
 
that, and another similar article (the worse one you referred to), is why 1fast doesn't carry bill's products, and why many people dislike him. Telling the media that athletes are using the pro-hormones shows a clear lack of a brain.

Yeah, there are quite a few words I believe are synonymous with his being that I will refrain from saying in this thread.....:twisted:

I agree w/ all 3 of your points. I'm not saying thats what I think. I guess I'm assuming she and anyone else with her interest has already been here anyway.
 
Not Bill L!!!

It was not Bill L who "sent" the reporter to the board and
ALRI's subsection. Let's make that clear. It was someone else.

I'd rather not get into who it was other than to say neither
Author or myself were exactly shocked when we found out
it was him.

As for the rest...Author and I have no comments.

The reason for all this is simple : anti-excellence. If you strive for excellence, you take control of what's implied in it, that means your LIFE. Someone who takes control of their life is less likely to gobble down any disinformation/misinformation and whatever else a government wants people to believe. Watch baseball on TV, be fat, drink lots of alcohol, smoke cigarettes, that's OK because they won't make you BETTER. They make you WEAK and WEAK is easy to control. Just notice how, even with all the lawsuits and everything, the tobacco industry is still raking in the dough. Their products still legal. This so-called democracy wants you to believe that your best interests are being looked after "Hey we even banned them evil steroids" while, in truth, they aren't. But the people are way too soft now to wake up and smell the stink of rot. Rights? Pretty soon, you'll have a right to watch TV any time of the day you want.

How could you have found out? The person talking to the reporter would be a source and there is strict confidentiality between a reporter and his/her source.
 
All I will say is the person who told her made a very public mistake that led us to believe it was this person.

Bill is not the person who made this error.

Let it die. OK?

I hate the fact that androgens are so Taboo. Lets face it, if they were completly legal, competition would quickly produce the most effective products with the least amount of sides. By making it difficult on manufacturers, regulation forces a comprimise on their ability to develop the safest most effective products.

All I know is I look f'in awsome, I got big hanging boys and no probs in the sack, my blood work is great - somebody tell me its bad for my body and I will laugh at them.

Sorry, Bruce, but you cannot come in here saying things like that first statement, and then expect someone to drop the subject completely. Well, I guess you can, heck you just did - but we all know that's not the correct way to handle this issue. You create another bit of mystery with your statement, and are only seemingly creating more hype and excitement, needlessly.
And yet, if we were to really look into your statement, you don't even know for sure who did this, you have only been led to believe who did it, correct?

Why don't you just come out and say who you think it was? You sure are doing everything but.

because if he came out and said it, he'd get sued, and would need to produce solid proof to back up the accusation.

That's because it's a guess. Hell it's anyones guess but does it really matter?

Any reporter with internet access, a few brain cells and time to read could have figured this story out. With all the fighting back and forth between all the companies, there is more than enough fuel for the fire.
 
BodyWizard said:
slander? defamation? harassment? restraint of trade?

any weapon will do: this is an old fight, and tragic.
So you're saying that saying someone talked to a reporter is grounds for a defamation suit? Wow, that's wrong. But I'm a lawyer so what do I know.
 
quigs said:

Well lets see, there is Bill L and PA. Take a guess based on what BK has said so far. Even if you didnt read BK's post, you have a 50/50 chance. :)

No........what has me confused is they said THEY were suprised who said it. If PA did it they wouldn't be surprised, would they.

I'm wondering "who dun it" too?

PA has a brother in this industry too, and PA doesnt stand for Prince Albert incase you were wondering. :)

Yeah, the same PA that announced just a few days ago that he is going back to the PH market? I dont believe that.
There are other companies and shady individuals. Whoever was, its disgusting.
 
kwyckemynd00 said:
The article is okay, some things were obviously either researched or the info was borrowed from the like of LLelwyn, and some was obviously just regurgitated misinformation.
Yeah, my same opinion. An average article.

I wonder where she is????
I bet she is watching us ;)
 
Alright.

Now, there are all these rumors that this is the end of some of these designer hormonal supplements, which is obviously a really hasty conclusion to jump to. There's no evidence of that. No one's breaking any laws here, and congress hasn't made any moves to target anything.

However, I find my self not completely siding with the supplement industry here. For everyone like Author L Rea, Patrick Arnold and Bill Llewellyn, there are tons of companies putting out bunk products with who-knows-what in them and making all sorts of exaggerated and unsubstantiated claims about what they are and what they do.

So, I think that the supplement industry does need tighter regulation. But slapping broad bans on products, like was done this year with prohormones, is not the answer.
 
Someone refresh my memory.

Who was it that went running all over the internet yelling that he was writing a book on how to convert PHs to real steroids and encouraged people to stock up on PHs.

And my oh my he also SOLD PHs.

Can you say repeat :hammer:




CROWLER
 
Forgive me for my silence. I simply have had no reason to post. I do not watch day-time soap operas either.

It really does not matter who the source was, lads. And there was no intent to point at anyone. What matters is that it has simply become another example of drama for no good purpose that was taken into wrong directions in a few cases.

I pay for this area on this board to help support a forum for others who wish to discuss with their peers their own freedoms of choice in a format that allows us to agree or not. Most do so in an intelligent respectful manner. It has not effected our sales in any way, good or bad. But I have enjoyed speaking with many of you when I could steel the time to do so. Thank you.

The only intent of this post was and is to invite Ms. Shipley into a forum that would allow her an opportunity to hear from, and discuss this with, those she focused upon this time, as well as the many that these negative articles hurt. Want to do something for the public? Close a McDonald's and save a dozen heart attacks. Or, please, do something positive with all of the drunk kids I see constantly with a cigarette.

I had read her 2002 article and found that it is quite possible that she may be interested in publicly gaining the truth. It is all of those who steel threads to take to other boards, magazines and media maniacs that concern me. That is just drama for the sake of drama and suggest the dire need for estrogen control.

There certainly is no doubt that Pat dislikes me and most innovative lads in the industry. He bashes for page after page anything good other companies do for reasons known only to him in the wee hours of the night. He too, like us all, has his own ghosts to battle. But that does not make him all bad, nor do I have any desire to point any negative thoughts or feelings his, or anyone's way. I wish him and his endeavors the best and of course invite him to speak to me personally, face to face, anytime he feels the need to do so. Who knows, being in person rather than behind a key board, has made many far more respectful of those they speak of, and so much more interesting. LOL, Not likely ever friends, but certainly potential to resolve the lack of manners in a rather positive way.

In short, it is a sad state of the industry when we spend our time helping others destroy it and become blind to common sense. Lets stop.I have.
 
just wondering

In a worst case senarieo does this site have to give up the names of its members?:sick:
 
???

Absolutely not. It has nothing to do with the operation of this board at all.
 
For the record, PA denies being the source and claims to dislike this Ms. Shipley. And no, I don't read from the "PA Bible" I just would think it better that we had some direct statements from the parties involved than just speculation.

as you all know, i announced last week my intention to get back into the prossteroid market

a few days after that i got a voice mail from amy shipley saying that she found that out and wanted to discuss it.

seems someone tipped her off about ME. one person comes in mind. but without any evidence i will not point fingers

amy shipley btw has been on my trail for 3 years. she is like the guy that used to trace bruce banner (incredible hulk) around since then.

i always ignore her

and i suggest ALR do the same. the response he has here is not good. ALR should call rick collins and let him handle any press interactions.

best to say NOTHING to the press folks
 
PA on his current project...


"well it makes me stop and think.

but i am gonna go ahead with it

first thing though is for us to synthesize enough for us to test out, to make sure that it works in real world and not just on paper"
 
Well I guess this means I'll have to get those calf/chest/bicep/tricep/ab/quad/ham/glute implants I've had my eyes on:) Seriously, why is it that it is perfectly okay to be repeatedly placed under anesthesia and cover my body with scars to look good, but if I take a natural hormone (not a "synthetic designer drug" as was stated in Amy's article) like testosterone, then I am some type of societal outcast? The body is a strange entity, capable of many unimagineable actions/reactions, but one thing is perfectly clear: this crap, this elitist bunch of uneducated and uninformed boobs who tell our "free" society what is legal/wrong/moral while peddling death in a rolling paper or beer bottle and pocketing the taxes off of the top is just giving me a damn headache.
 
Too bad the rest of the threads are down, I rather enjoy AM and the ALRI subforum as well. :sad: Very informative and useful knowledge on the board. Oh well, I say we hope for the best and help to support the industry and its key figures any way that we can.

For real, the ALRI section is the only part I come to at AM (sometimes visit PH section)...
 
Then feel free to post somewhere else.
 
I dont think ALR or Gaspari is guilty of this, but I have seen some ads that blatantly state how they are circumventing the law with these new products. Replacement for M 1T, etc. Just look at last months MD. When I read the ads I was wondering to myself when some congressman or news writer would pick one of these up, or it be shown to them, and we would not only lose these compounds, but it would snowball into us losing our supplement freedom totally, a la CODEX.

I could not agree more. When someone hurts a good company or product with intentional lies and propaganda, just to promote their own stuff, it is the ultimate insult to everyone who buys supps. These type of people don't truely care about your personal results, they just want to make your money! I don't think that the average consumer has yet realized that they have been insulted, or they would be upset too by now. Don't believe the drama guys! You have been mislead and the sooner you accept it, the faster you can change it!
 
DR.D said:

I'm not making any trouble. I merely made a post with instructions by which any intelligent person could find out which industry figure has long-standing ties with that particular reporter....

It certainly doesn't exonerate anybody, but when you compare the number of articles where she's dealt with various folks versus the number of articles where she's dealt with _______ ..........

"Author" and BK figure it to be Pat because they both have an axe to grind with him, and BK is still sore about the contamination memo that got sent to a few distributors. That's it. The basis of their suspicions is hard feelings, which is perfectly within their rights... though I must say it's rather short-sighted given the petty and juvenile climate in this industry, and the ease by which these sorts of environments are manipulated by folks with just the tiniest bit of cunning.... so realistically, the only thing they accomplish by jumping to such conclusions based on a ridiculous grudge is that they play into the hands of folks who might potentially like to exploit this very public little spat.

Trouble? Not here. Just telling folks how to inform themselves as to the existence of another possible suspect, and maybe raise a few eyebrows in the process.

You may be correct, but have you stopped to consider that their suspicions may more likely be based on PA former track record? He's pulled these kinds of stunts before, in case you don't remember. Actually, he's pulled this exact stunt before. That would not make them axe-grinders, but just plain smart rather. I mean really, the best you can do is go with the most probable odds. You’re right more often when the odds of something are above average. Or, my real opinion is that they do know. In fact, it would really blow my mind if they didn't. Think about it, they really can't afford not to know! Of course he wouldn't state it as a matter of fact, but he was kind enough to let those of us who can read between the lines know who it was without actually saying it. The way I see it, it's pretty clear and I will not be the least bit surprised if it is proven true.

Dr.D When did PA pull this exact stunt before??

Maybe I wasn't suppose to say that. I thought it was common knowledge. Do a little digging and you'll find out. You know me (I usually speak my mind) but I'm in enough trouble these days, sorry.

This will only make sense if PA doesn't come out with the PH he's claiming will be available in September. Otherwise, it seems to me that someone who's been pushing AA hard since the ban and knows the reporter would make the most sense by far.

Actually its common knowledge that no one knows who gave Avant up (and if there was actually someone in the industry who did).
 
Along the same lines...

Why is it okay to get botox injections to paralyze facial muscles, reducing wrinkles and extending the careers of people want to look younger?
Why is it a crime to take hormones to increase strength and stamina, to extend the careers of people who need to perform physically?

Remember these names:
Mr. Biden, Mr. Hatch, Mr. Grassley, Mr. Harkin, Mr. Stevens, Mr. McCain, Mr. Nelson of Florida, Mrs. Feinstein, Mr. Allen, and Ms. Murkowski?
